Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the most recent advances in fuzzy logic and computational intelligence, from theoretical to applied works. We aim to explore different scopes of fuzzy theory concepts, from classical concepts to the more abstract ones such as intervals and lattices, as well as their relationships with computational intelligence. 

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: 

  • Fuzzy logic.
  • Fuzzy systems.
  • Interval mathematics.
  • Lattice fuzzy logic.
  • Computational intelligence systems. 

I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Fuzzy implication models play a crucial role in the field of fuzzy logic. The reason behind this reality is the fact that fuzzy implications are influenced by the properties of the model used for their creation. The importance of the mentioned models increases due to the fact that there is a need for new fuzzy implications for use in artificial intelligence and other applications. So, this paper aims to resolve this problem by creating a new model. This model, named (S,T,N) by the authors, is an evolution from previous models as it utilizes all of the basic logical fuzzy connectives in a new composition that emphasizes the use of as many connectives as practically possible. Moreover, a computer program has been developed to display various interpretations of the proposed model and allow the readers to form a deeper understanding of the paper’s research. The results provided by the research conducted are mainly due to the development of the new fuzzy implication model and, secondarily, the new tool for displaying the capabilities of the implication model. Finally, the conclusions drawn from the paper proved that the search for new fuzzy implications should not only be targeted at new research directions but also at more established ones. Furthermore, the program displayed the strong capabilities of computer-assisted computations since it allowed for rapid checking of multiple implications, thus easing the researcher’s task of practically verifying the new model’s validity.

Abstract
Semi-overlap functions as a generalization of left-continuous t-norms also have residua. In this paper, we develop a new residuated logic, SOL-logic, based on semi-overlap functions and their residua. The corresponding algebraic structures, SOL-algebras, are defined, and the completeness of SOL with respect to [...] Read more.

Class imbalance is a prevalent problem that not only reduces the performance of the machine learning techniques but also causes the lacking of the inherent complex characteristics of data. Though the researchers have proposed various ways to deal with the problem, they have yet to consider how to select a proper treatment, especially when uncertainty levels are high. Applying rough-fuzzy theory to the imbalanced data learning problem could be a promising research direction that generates the synthetic data and removes the outliers. The proposed work identifies the positive, boundary, and negative regions of the target set using the rough set theory and removes the objects in the negative region as outliers. It also explores the positive and boundary regions of the rough set by applying the fuzzy theory to generate the samples of the minority class and remove the samples of the majority class. Thus the proposed rough-fuzzy approach performs both oversampling and undersampling to handle the imbalanced class problem. The experimental results demonstrate that the novel technique allows qualitative and quantitative data handling. Full article
